Terms and Conditions

(Ireland) (Version 2.0)

Introduction

This is a summary of the key terms and conditions applicable to the Complete Solution and apply from 26th September 2022 as between Epos Now S.L.  (“Epos Now”, “we”, “Us”) and You.

These terms and conditions take precedence over the terms and conditions on our website and the pricing set out within them.

Our main terms and conditions can be accessed from our website at [link] and still apply where no specific provision is made within these terms and conditions.

We have separate Terms and Conditions for the use of Epos Now Payments, which you will be asked to accept if your proposition is inclusive of this service. Pricing set out in these terms and conditions takes precedence to any sums set out in the Epos Now Payments terms and conditions.

These terms and conditions are reflective of a business-to-business relationship between us and you. We do not enter agreements with consumers (as defined in the Sale of goods and supply of Services Act 1980). 

Our registered address is Epos Now S.L. Calle Vallehermoso 82, 28015 Madrid, Spain. 

Our propositions

1.1 We currently offer 2 different propositions to our customers as of 26th September 2022. These are: Basic Monthly (monthly payment); and Plus Monthly (monthly payment). Both propositions are pricing at a 24-month contract. The plus proposition enables the customer to use Epos Now Payments. Further information and pricing is set out in Appendix 1.

1.2 These propositions are for the provision of hardware and software and payment solutions. You can upgrade at any time between each of the propositions.

1.3 Details of our Support are set out in Appendix 2.

Hardware 

2.1 Both propositions provide you with hardware for your use during the period when you have a continuing software contract with us. 

2.2 For those propositions with an upfront payment, legal title to the hardware will pass to you upon the upfront payment being made

2.3 For those propositions where there is no up-front payment by you, legal title to the hardware remains with us. At the end of your agreement with us the hardware must be returned to us. We will provide you with suitable labels for this purpose. 

2.4 The hardware provided to you in relation to all our propositions is at a discounted price. The full value of the hardware in the Plus Plan is €1,650.00 and €1,320.00 for the Basic (the “Hardware Cost”). You agree that this represents a fair and reasonable valuation of the hardware when new. Where any hardware is not returned to us within 60 days of the due date, Epos Now may invoice you the Hardware Cost. Epos Now will amortise the Hardware Cost for contracts of 12 months or longer by 4% per calendar month.

Term and termination

• The propositions which are described as having a monthly rolling period can be terminated by you upon giving us one calendar month’s written notice, to expire at the end of a calendar month.
• The propositions which are for a fixed period continue until the last day of the fixed period. You can give us written notice at any time before that date that you do not wish the agreement to continue beyond, however no notice can have the effect of terminating before the last day of the fixed period. If no notice is given by you, on the expiry of the fixed term the agreement shall continue as month-by-month agreement which can be terminated as in clause 3.1
• If you wish to terminate before the end of a fixed period, you will be responsible for paying a termination fee being a sum representing the aggregate of the remaining monthly payments falling due before the end of the fixed period. The sum is due immediately and we will apply a discount on payment being received of 3.5%
• Unless stated otherwise herein, no cancellation or variation of an order by you shall be effective unless it is made in writing and accepted in writing by an authorised officer of Epos Now. Epos Now reserves the right to refuse to accept such cancellation or variations or to accept cancellation or variation only subject to such conditions as it considers are warranted according to the circumstances.
• Without limiting any other rights or remedies, either party (“Terminating Party”) may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by providing written notice to the other party (“Defaulting Party”) on or at any time after the occurrence of any of the events specified below:
  • a breach by the Defaulting Party of its obligations under this Agreement which (if the breach is capable of remedy) the Defaulting Party has failed to remedy within 14 days after receipt of notice in writing from the Terminating Party requiring the Defaulting Party to do so; or
  • an event, including (or similar in nature to) the following:
    • the Defaulting Party is unable to pay its debts as they fall due;
    • the Defaulting Party goes into liquidation either compulsorily (except for the purpose of reconstruction or amalgamation) or voluntarily;
    • a receiver is appointed in respect of the whole or any part of the Defaulting Party;
    • a provisional liquidator is appointed to the Defaulting Party or the Defaulting Party enters into a voluntary arrangement or any other composition or compromise with the majority by value of its creditors or has a winding-up order or passes a resolution for the voluntary winding-up or has an administrative receiver appointed or takes steps towards any such event; or
  • the Defaulting Party suspends, or threatens to suspend, or ceases or threatens to cease to carry on all or a substantial part of its business.
• Epos Now may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if it reasonably believes that you have infringed or will infringe Epos Now’s rights or the rights of a third party.
• If this Agreement terminates for any reason, notwithstanding any other provision, Epos Now shall have no obligation to refund you and all charges payable by you to Epos Now under this Agreement will become due and payable immediately. This clause is without prejudice to any right by Epos Now to claim for interest or any other right under this Agreement.
• Your data stored within the Epos Now System shall be available for you to download for a period of 30 days from the effective date of termination. After this period, your data shall not be recoverable by or for you and may be deleted by Epos Now.
• Any provision of this Agreement that expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination or expiry of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect

Pricing

4.1 Current Pricing for all our propositions is set out in Appendix 1.

4.2 We may vary the monthly pricing upon giving you one calendar months’ notice in writing.

4.3 In the event that you are on a fixed term contract and a price increase (or the aggregate of any increases over a rolling 12-month period) is greater than 2% above the current level of inflation set out in the Ireland Consumer Prices Index at the date of notice, then you may terminate this agreement upon giving us one calendar months’ notice.

• Notwithstanding clause 7.1, it is your sole responsibility to ensure that the Product(s) and/or Services you are purchasing meet your requirements.
• Upon your request, Epos Now will promptly provide a written quotation for any Product(s) and/or Services. This quotation will be a guideline price and does not form the basis of any contract between you and Epos Now.
• Any advice or recommendation given by Epos Now or its representatives to you regarding the Services or the storage, application or use of the Products which is not confirmed in writing by Epos Now is followed or acted upon at your own risk, and accordingly Epos Now shall not be liable for any such advice or recommendation which is not so confirmed in writing.

• You will assume the risk for the Products once they have been delivered to the delivery address specified in your order. Risk in the Products will only transfer back to Epos Now upon its physical receipt of the Products in the event that they are eligible to be returned in accordance with this Agreement.

Your responsibilities

• You will be responsible for installing the hardware (unless otherwise agreed in writing with Epos Now) and will keep the hardware in the environmental conditions recommended by Epos Now and ensure that the external surfaces, cables and fittings of the hardware are kept in good, clean condition.
• You will ensure that the hardware is only used by properly trained staff in accordance with Epos Now’s instructions from time to time. You will ensure that only personnel authorised by Epos Now adjust, modify, configure, maintain, repair, replace or remove any part of the hardware.
• You will maintain adequate records of the use, maintenance and malfunction of the hardware and will provide Epos Now with such information and assistance concerning the hardware, its application, use, location and environment as Epos Now may reasonably require to enable it to carry out any support.
• You will immediately notify Epos Now if there is any failure of the hardware or the System and will allow Epos Now full and free access to the hardware and all documentation, software, materials and services necessary for the provision of support. You will ensure that relevant trained and experienced staff are available when required by Epos Now to provide Epos Now with information required to diagnose and/or repair the issue.
• It is your sole responsibility to regularly operate and verify a proper back-up routine, maintaining all back-up copies in a secure environment.
• You undertake to put and keep in place adequate security measures and up-to-date firewalls to protect the Hardware, Software and Systems from any viruses, harmful code or unauthorised access. Epos Now shall not be responsible for any unauthorised access to the System by means of hacking, any unauthorised access of the hardware with intent to commit or facilitate the commission of an offence or any unauthorised modification of the hardware by a third party.
• You are responsible for ensuring that the login password to the Epos Now Systems remains secure and confidential. You should update their password regularly and ‘remember me’ type functions should not be used on publicly available or shared computers.

Internet / Network Requirements

• Epos Now’s Products require a reliable and robust connection to the internet / local network to take advantage of all of the online features and benefits. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have an appropriate internet / local network connection in place prior to installation of the Software and to also ensure that the internet connection is maintained correctly and includes an up-to-date firewall. The recommended internet speeds are a minimum 7Mbps download speed and 0.6Mbps upload speed to support up to four till devices. Larger locations / installations will need higher internet speeds as appropriate to the size of installation and business. This speed requirement does not include any additional internet usage required over and above the Epos Now System such as staff or guest networks or other business requirements. Internet speeds and consistencies can be checked by using internet speed test websites or by contacting the applicable internet service provider.
• You must provide a separate physical network or a separate V-LAN for Epos Now systems. This must not be shared with other devices, particularly those that cause high volume, high congestion or unpredictable network loads including (but not limited to) guest networks and music or video streaming devices.
• You are solely responsible for any connection charges, line rental charges and call charges in relation to any Products.
• Whilst Epos Now representatives may provide advice and an indication of the suitability of  your internet / local network connection, it remains your sole responsibility to ensure you have a suitable internet / local network connection both before and after an order is placed. Epos Now is not responsible for any slow responses to its Systems, including where this is caused by your poor internet / local network connection.
• Provision of Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure (e.g. cabling, network switches, WAN router) is the responsibility of you and should be appropriate to the size of business and criticality of the operation.
• Where the System is to be used over wifi (e.g. tablets/mobile devices):
  • You are responsible for the setup, configuration and management of both the wifi infrastructure and you devices. This includes ensuring wifi coverage in required areas and ensuring network dropouts due to wifi roaming are minimised; and
  • you must acknowledge that wifi is not as robust as a wired network and network dropouts can occur due to wifi coverage, access point roaming, tablet sleep modes as well as other environmental factors. This is not unique to Epos Now Systems and should be considered when selecting a wifi solution.
• Epos Now Systems are designed to work offline, but where no network connection (LAN or WAN) is available or the network connection is unreliable, some functionality is reduced.
• Where customer devices are used offline for long periods, you must ensure that such devices are regularly (at least every 7 days) connected to the internet to ensure data is synchronised with its servers. All till devices must regularly (at least every 7 days) perform ‘End of Day/Close Till’ operations to ensure that the local data store can be archived to the servers.

Delivery of Hardware

• Whilst Epos Now takes reasonable care to ensure the hardware packaging prevents any damage to the hardware in transit, it is your responsibility to check the hardware before you accept the hardware at the time of delivery.
• It is your responsibility to document, and notify Epos Now of, any defects in the cosmetic condition of the Hardware within 24 hours of receiving the Hardware.
• Provided clause 10.2 has been complied with, in the rare occasion that the hardware is faulty or damaged on arrival, Epos Now will provide you with replacement hardware.
• Whilst Epos Now shall use reasonable endeavours to deliver the hardware by the date specified in the order, Epos Now shall not be liable for the delay in delivery from any cause whatsoever and howsoever arising and time shall not be of the essence for delivery.
• All deliveries must be signed for by you or your authorised representatives. Epos Now’s third party courier may notify you the timeframe when you should expect the delivery by email and/or text message. It is your responsibility to provide Epos Now with the correct address, email and mobile number to benefit from this service.
• It is your responsibility to have an appropriate and authorised person available to sign for the delivery of the Hardware. Epos Now is not responsible for any deliveries that cannot be made due to an authorised person not being available to receive the hardware, or its courier not having access to the delivery location
